SAP’s applications run on the Application Layer servers.
SAP’s application code and user data are on the Database Layer servers.
End users run GUI/Browser software on their Presentation Layer workstations.
Users often access the SAP application servers via the Intranet/Internet Layer servers.
Storage devices (DASD/Disk) are present on all layers, but the most sophisticated are on the database servers.

Technical Change Management ensures the integrity of changes across the landscape
Must ensure that customizing of certain objects is in-sync across systems.Solution Manager will reuse customizing (e.g. of SAP ERP) in other systems (e.g. SAP CRM). It avoids redundant customizing activities in a solution landscape.

System z Value Proposition for SAP applications
IBM's System z running SAP applications offers the ultimate choice in security, stability and scalability in the marketplace through world-class workload management and an industrial-strength database server. SAP on System z platform delivers to the customers continuous availability to mission critical applications and data by avoiding outages for any hardware or database maintenance thru implementation of DB2 for z/OS Data Sharing.
The difference between High Availability (= unplanned outages avoidance) and continuous availability (= planned outages avoidance) translates into superior Total Cost of Ownership, as the difference between 99.99% and 99.86% application availability to users can represent more than 50 million dollars outage costs in Retail Industry (see more details in the referenced ITG Study).

Recent Analysts Studies
Batwick Group: SAP Consolidation - Improving reliability, performance and agility
Bathwick Group analyst Gary Barnett published a new white paper that describes how companies have chosen IBM System z to consolidate their SAP landscapes into a single environment and the reliability, performance, agility and cost-reduction benefits they've gained as a result. The paper features several client examples and concludes:
"If your business relies on SAP, it’s essential that you ensure that your SAP infrastructure delivers reliability and flexibility, ideally at the lowest cost possible. While recently it has been conventional wisdom to rely on horizontal scaling using racksof blades and technologies like VMware to deliver SAP, it’s important to note that you now have a choice when it comes to consolidating and simplifying your infrastructure. IBM’s zEnterprise platform offers you a choice, and has proven to be the right choice for a number of organizations.„
Josh Krisher: IBM zEnterprise Opens New Horizons for SAP Customers
Analyst Josh Krischer published a white paper that outlines the reasons IBM zEnterprise is an ideal platform for organizations of all sizes looking to simplify management and reduce costs by consolidating their SAP infrastructures. The paper concludes:
"SAP ERP on System z has always been a solid enterprise platform; however, the zEnterprise platform now adds even more reasons to consider this option. zEnterprise raises the bar by offering an integrated system for heterogeneous hardware, as well as software platforms that address the major infrastructure requirements of businesses looking for security, business continuity, and performance. Practically any SAP application can run on a single zEnterprise system. The various blade technologies offer flexibility in selecting options for web applications. The Unified Resource Manager acts as a central point of control – a centralized governance system that can manage an underlying z/OS, Linux on System z, AIX on POWER, or Linux and Windows on System x under a single-management umbrella, thus simplifying system management at lower management costs. The dedicated private network eliminates the needs for external, security-vulnerable connections, reduces the number of hops, reduces latency, and eliminates the need for inter-platform encryption."
